Hi John,

Your set is vintage 1946. No Philco is ever considered "discard" unless it was in a fire, flood for a week or hit by a truck. Icon_wink

Well worth restoring.

Ron can give you info on the number or units sold, I believe - he has production figures.

If you are looking to restore the set, a full photocopy set of the service bulletins for the radio and phono are available thru my site (below).
